Nick Grayson

New Orleans private detective Nick Grayson has seen it all-or so he thinks. When Emily Turner walks into his office, everything changes. Her brother is dead, and the deeper Nick digs, the murkier the truth becomes. With his secretary Lisa at his side and a few unreliable allies-including a flashy reporter and a suspicious cop-Nick unravels a web of lies and betrayal that leads him into the city's darkest corners.Caught between the corruption of Mayor Raymond Fontaine, the brutality of mafia boss Sal Moretti, and the shadowy ambition of Colonel Victor Thornwood, Nick must face his own demons while trying to stay alive long enough to find the truth. Amid the mystery and danger, Nick finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of voodoo through his encounters with Malik, a local practitioner whose secrets may hold the key to the case. And as Nick seeks guidance, Father Rousseau, a priest with his own haunting experiences, offers wisdom that challenges Nick's understanding of faith and morality. The deeper Nick digs, the more he realizes that in New Orleans, nothing is as it seems-not even the line between the living and the dead.
